Beskrivelse af Home is Where the Mic Is
This anthology presents the work of twenty-four young Spoken Word poets from South Africa, with a sprinkling of guests from the United States, Britain and Australia.
The experience of black youth in societies polarized by racism, inequality and gender violence whilst, at the same time, struggling to come to terms with love, sex and all the other basic needs of young people makes for fascinating reading. The inventive graphic layout is a fine addition to a stand out volume.
Home is Where the Mic Is was conceived as a collaboration with 'Word n Sound', a popular Johannesburg Spoken Word platform. The intention was to give hitherto only 'stage' poets an opportunity to test their work on the 'page' and confound the Eurocentric critics of the new wave of performance poetry who decry its energy and breaking down of artificial definitions of poetry. This is South African poetry standing on it's own two feet!
